Agilent Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:A)'s Chief Executive Officer, President and Director, Michael R. McMullen recently stated, "As we move forward, we're going to continue to evaluate M&A opportunities in support of our growth strategy. Our primary focus is on bolt-ons, acquisitions. That's the one we just announced this morning, which is a nice bolt-on to our cell analysis business. But we're also open to larger acquisitions that align with our long-term growth in terms of ability to gain more revenue and earnings expansion for the company. So M&A complements our organic growth strategy."
